Studio Display

Most of my friends crap on me for buying an Apple Studio Display, but I have to say, it really did away with the nightmare of having to utilize a docking station, desktop speakers, and a million cables. Is it too late to return the mini?

Hot take, but the loudest complainers of every iteration of the Studio Display are the ones who have to try really hard to justify the purchase and don't actually own or use one daily. I actually own a Studio Display and use it every day for work as a designer, personal usage and light gaming. Now g

I commented on your other post too but I’ll post here for anyone else that sees. The Dell S2725QC is a great budget 27” 4K monitor with USB-C connectivity and decent built in speakers too. The colors are great and text is nice and sharp. Apple's Studio Display is “the best” for Mac if you want to sp

For what they do, Studio Displays are cheap. I have two reference displays in my org. They both do one type of reference and cost the company $13000 each. We have to bid for time with them basically.

If you do any kind of photo, video, or design work, the Studio Display is tough to beat in absolute terms. The ASUS ProArt is definitely far better value, but if you’ve got the budget for a Studio it’s an excellent product.

I think many of us here are or were in the same spot. I went for a matte none-Apple monitor. However, Apple products do hold their value long-term better than the rest as there’s more demand. I just saw someone sell a four year old used ASD for 1150€ on eBay - so considering the resell value and ass

It’s literally just the 24” monitor. It’s the only complaint I ever see about iMac. If they sold the iMac as a 27” Apple studio display gen 1 with at least an M2 processor for ~$1300 I think people would jump on it.
